Abstract

This study aims to find out the implementation of Ki Hadjar Dewantara philosophy of education in Physics lessons at SMA Taman Madya Ibu Pawiyatan Yogyakarta. The method used in this study was a descriptive-qualitative method. This research was conducted at SMA Taman Madya Ibu Pawiyatan Yogyakarta. There were four stages done in this study, among others: Pre-Field Stage, Field Stage, Data Analysis Stage, and Report Writing Stage. Data for this study were collected through interviews, observations, and documents. Instruments employed in this study included: interview guides, observation sheets, and documents. Meanwhile, the technique of examining the data validity of this study was done through data triangulation. The results of this study indicated that the teacher of Physics at SMA Taman Madya Ibu Pawiyatan Yogyakarta has had enough understanding of Ki Hadjar Dewantara philosophy of education, but not yet applied in the process of Physics learning. This was shown from the results of observations and interviews conducted by the writer during the process of learning Physics in the classroom, as well as the analysis of Physics learning devices used in learning Physics.
